Shakespeare's archetypal slapstick comedy, now with updated jokes
and wordplay. One of Shakespeare's earliest plays, The Comedy of
Errors is a farcical tale of separated twins and mistaken
identities. This slapstick play is a staple of the genre, including
madcap bawdiness, love at first sight, reunions, and
happily-ever-afters. Christina Anderson's translation dives deep
into the joy of the original text, reinterpreting the metaphor,
antiquated slang, and double and triple entendre for a contemporary
audience. This translation of The Comedy of Errors was written as
part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, which
commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays.
These translations present work from "The Bard" in language
accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of
Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of
contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from
diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the
twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for
the first time in print-a new First Folio for a new era.

'Post-black' refers to an emerging trend within black arts to find
new and multiple expressions of blackness, unburdened by the social
and cultural expectations of blackness of the past and moving
beyond the conventional binary of black and white. Reflecting this
multiplicity of perspectives, the plays in this collection explode
the traditional ways of representing black families on the American
stage, and create new means to consider the interplay of race, with
questions of class, gender, and sexuality. They engage and critique
current definitions of black and African-American identity, as well
as previous limitations placed on what constitutes blackness and
black theatre. Written by the emerging stars of American theatre
such as Eisa Davis and Marcus Gardley, the plays explore themes as
varied as family and individuality, alienation and gentrification,
and reconciliation and belonging. They demonstrate a wide-range of
formal and structural innovations for the American theatre, and
reflect the important ways in which contemporary playwrights are
expanding the American dramatic canon with new and diverse means of
representation. Edited by two leading US scholars in black drama,
Harry J. Elam Jr (Stanford) and Douglas A. Jones Jr (Princeton),
this cutting edge anthology gathers together some of the most
exciting new American plays, selected by a rigorous academic
backbone and explored in depth by supporting critical material.

Klass, a homeless, young Black man, sets up residence in the
courtyard of the housing project where Ida Peters lives. Triggered
by a fatal confrontation between a local street vendor and the
police, Klass and Ida quickly develop a precarious bond against the
backdrop of a restless neighborhood. Inspired by the Greek myth
Leda and the Swan, Blacktop Sky examines the intersection of love,
violence, and seduction.
During the years 1627 and 1628, Charles I of England purchased the
cream of the Gonzaga art collection, belonging to the dukes of
Mantua, in what would become the greatest art deal of the 17th
century. Among the treasures sold were ancient statues and stunning
paintings by Titian, Raphael, Correggio, and Rubens. This book
examines this fascinating and significant art sale from the
perspective of the man who orchestrated it-Daniel Nijs (1572-1647),
a Flemish merchant, collector, and dealer living in Venice.
Christina M. Anderson brings Nijs to life, asserting that he was
more than the avaricious and unscrupulous trader that most modern
writers and scholars deem him to be. Anderson's evocative text
describes Nijs's unique talent as a dealer, rooted in superior
commercial skills, connections to artistic and diplomatic circles,
and a deep love of art. The narrative reveals that Nijs was
ultimately the pivotal figure involved with the Gonzaga sale,
though also-when he later fell into bankruptcy and dishonor due to
a deal gone awry-the most tragic.

Reagan Farrell never thought she would join the Aegis, but that's
exactly what she's doing. Now that King Midas has the golden touch
and has turned her friends into statues, Reagan has no choice but
to feign ignorance. If she ever wants to save her friends, she
needs King Midas's help-and she knows she won't get that easily.
The only trick is getting King Midas to believe that she doesn't
remember anything about her friends. But when King Midas welcomes
Reagan willingly into her castle, she realizes something is wrong.
King Midas knows something that Reagan doesn't, and without Deval,
Reagan isn't sure she can figure out how to fix everything. And
sorting out King Midas's lies from her truths is a task all in
itself. There's one lie she can't figure out: Vincent. Not only is
Vincent alive and well, but he seems to have taken Terrence's spot
as Prince of the Aegis. How long has King Midas had this planned,
and how long can Reagan survive in her enemy's headquarters? This
is the third and final installment of the Gilded Trilogy.
Reagan Farrell is running out of time. King Midas has escaped, and
rumor has it she will stop at nothing to obtain the golden touch.
And she is elusive, weaving her way through seas and land to make
it to something-something that only King Midas knows about. The
only hint she leaves behind for Reagan is a string of
disappearances and deaths, a bloody trail to follow. It doesn't
help that no one knows how to sail a ship, and Aerosion Gliders can
only take Reagan and her friends so far. The only person to offer
assistance to them is unwanted, and no one, especially Terrence,
can trust the former Aegis Jack. But they take him on their team,
anyway, and he leads them across the sea to track down King Midas
and stop her before it's too late. It doesn't help that Jack knows
more than he is willing to let on. With a man they can't trust
steering a boat they can't control, it gets harder and harder to
stop King Midas. But Reagan is determined to end this once and for
all, and she will stop at nothing to stop the golden touch. This is
the second book in the Gilded Trilogy.
Reagan is ready to strike back. The Aegis, an organization whose
mission is to control the golden touch, uses weapons liberally in
its attempt to gain power, and after watching the group destroy the
world she knows, Reagan plans to get revenge by killing their
prince. When the Aegis capture her, it is highly convenient that
the prince personally decides her fate. Yet Reagan finds herself
unable to kill Prince Terrence, too enamored by his kindness to
even make a scratch. In fact, his goal is not so different from her
own: he wants to leave the Aegis fortress to stop the king, too.
Or, at least, that's what he tells her. As the Aegis grows stronger
and stronger, it seems Reagan has no choice; she must team up with
Prince Terrence and attempt to stop the golden touch from falling
into the wrong hands, even if it means putting her life in the
hands of a man she meant to kill. Aerosion is the first book in the
Gilded Trilogy.
